So many of us here at Cottesmore enjoyed Roy and also the family so much. He will be missed so much. I will miss him saying, "How are you, could you sit and have lunch with me" every day when I helped him with his lunch. What a lovely man that loved the lord. He is now at peace with Peggy.

We Love You and Miss You Grandpa. Kiss Grandma Hello for Me. I will hold Dear to Me all the Memories when we were all health and able to get together for Holidays and Weekends. Soon We will all be together again, no more pain, no more illness. Rest in Sweet Peace. <3
I loved my friend Roy and miss him everyday . I am a housekeeper at Cottesmore and Roy was very special to me . Roy would make laugh when I down and he was so caring . My favorite times with him was when we would have tea together in the afternoons. I will remember are talks forever. Also Roys wonderful family would invite me for all holidays for dinner and they made the holidays happy for me again. I know Roy is in heaven with his lovely wife and I know we will meet again. Sue thank you for helping me get closer to God again. You will always be special to me.
Roy's thinking of others--"have you eaten, cookies in the drawer, have a safe drive home," were said to me many times at Cottesmore. His beautiful and sincere smile was given often. It has been such an honor to have known Roy. Our love to all the Riden family--especially you Sue.
Love, Howard and Connie Faber
We love and miss you, Mom & Dad, but we are so grateful to The Lord that you are together at last ... and enjoying your Heavenly Mansiom :) When we get to be with you again .... we're goin' on a picnic, so be sure you make some of your great Potato Salad, Mom! Nobody makes it like you :) Dad, you suffered so much recently ... we praise God that he so beautifully lifted you up to be with Him and Mom. So happy for you both!
